General description

Ethanol-d6 is a deuterated derivative of ethanol. It has an isotopic purity of 99.5atom%D. It is a standard purity solvent suitable for routine NMR analyses (conducted at ambient temperatures where quality is less critical).

Application

Ethanol-d6 may be used as a solvent for the tributylphosphine (PBu3) induced 5-exo cyclization of an o-alkynoylphenol to form deuterated aurone.
